BluEyz is addicted to Mini Coopers, especially classic ones. In fact, she owns three of them, a 1993, a 1990 and a 1973, plus a "Red Bull" MINI (2008)and a modern MINI (2018). She thought geocachers might like to see Minis in a variety of colors. They aren't just randomly painted, however. When their code is decrypted they will yield a set of coordinates. The cache can be found by entering through The Gardens Cemetery or from Millennium Park. The expansive trail system connects these two areas. If you enter through the cemetery you will pass through Brook Farm. A little history of the area is given after the puzzle.
"Established in West Roxbury in April 1841 by the transcendentalists George and Sophia Ripley, Brook Farm (also known as the Brook Farm Institute of Agriculture and Education) sought to equally distribute the tasks of daily life while providing education for all participants; the end goal was a balance of work and leisure that would, above all, benefit the greater good. Turning a profit from the farm’s agricultural surplus proved a challenge, and Brook Farm was forced to shutter in 1847.
Nonetheless, the experiment at Brook Farm played a key role in the development of American religious and cultural philosophy. During its heyday, the commune was home to some of America’s most renowned thinkers of the period, including Charles Anderson Dana, Greeley, Margaret Fuller, and Nathaniel Hawthorne. Hawthorne would ultimately set his novel "The Blithedale Romance" in a utopian community modeled after Brook Farm.
After its closure, the land would take a turn as a poor farm before becoming training grounds during the Civil War. Brook Farm’s most enduring reincarnation was that of an orphanage from 1872 to 1943 and the associated Gethsemane Cemetery, the latter of which still stands today.
While the majority of the original buildings are now gone save for the print shop, Brook Farm remains a fascinating roam through land fraught with layers of intellectual and emotional history that is distinctly American in nature." (Atlas Obscura)
